Here are the results of the Towers time trial last night (5/25/2010). The initial marks are set, now we can all try and beat them. Congratulations to Dwight who is the current holder of the mountain bike FKT of 30:15. Fort Collins local Nick Clark has the FKT running the TT at 29:27.

FKT (fastest known time) route. Start from the trail map at the Soderberg trailhead. Head north for .45 miles on single track to the Towers Road. Then head directly up the hill for just under three miles. Note that after you have passed the West Ridge trail on your left you then make the last steep grind to the top. Once you’ve cleared that grind there is a fork in the road very near the top. Take a left at this fork and you will see telecommunication towers and a couple of buildings. Stop your watch after you slap the last building through the clearing (see picture attached). 1,750’ of vertical over 3.5 miles.
